SKHUMBA

Pre-roast fear factor: 9/10

Hottest roast: To Gareth Cliff: “You know you are useless in life when you leave a show and no-one cries. When you left Idols, no-one did… Not even Unathi.”

Hottest roast: “Somizi, I love you but you were really crap in Sarafina when you tried to play that straight guy.”

Coldest shade: “Joanne, you went from a national TV station to a regional radio station – your career is in reverse. You’re like the Benjamin Button of South African media. What’s next for you? Touch HD?” – Gareth Cliff

Hottest roast: “I’m very sad that you’re no longer single. The last time I had sex with someone as beautiful as you was when I was f**king Maps Maponyane… You know the guilty smile he has on those Samsung ads? That’s because he exploded harder than the Galaxy Note 7.”

Coldest shade: “Schalk, you look poor, like you’ve wasted your white privilege… We take one look at you and we know you don’t have the land.” – Skhumba
